It's a shame this didn't come out with the album in 2003. I vividly remember buying that CD at Best Buy and obsessing over it, trying to suss out the story. I've always been a big concept album nut, and while I could see the threads in Coheed & Cambria's albums, I was never able tie them together (no matter how many forum posts I read). Paired with the graphic novel, the album finally has context and it's a much improved experience (and we're talking about an album I loved and still love here). While the Amory Wars series hasn't been without its growing pains and has a bit of a tolerance curve in regard to the cringey dialogue and miscalculated humor, it really hits its stride in the middle of In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3. The art is more professional, and the story starts to really feel like a big sci-fi fantasy epic. Claudio Sanchez's excellent world building finally gets its just due, and Wilhelm Ryan is established as a true all-timer of a super-powered, insurmountable villain.

I'm obsessed with Amory Wars/Coheed and Cambria in general.. Claudio's ability to create multi media storytelling experiences... Wish there could be a TV/animated series

Artwork is ok; the story is just as out-there as you might expect from the "novelization" of a prog-rock album. I forgot there was a series before this one, so there's a little catching up that needs to be done. Still, I'm a fan of the music, so this was a fun read.

Much better than volume one. Fewer sore thumbs of lyrical references in this part.
